During the COVID-19 Pandemic we have continued to publish our weekly bulletin. 
In an effort to keep in touch, we had been delivering bulletins each week.  As many parishioners are now able to attend Mass again, these deliveries have now stopped. 
If you know of someone who still needs the bulletin delivered, please contact the Parish Office to make arrangements.

​
